To clarify for anyone dropping in on this thread:
The Haken CVC has 16 CV outputs, four groups of four CVs, that can be added to the Continuum, ContinuMini, Osmose, and most notable here the EaganMatrix Module via a high speed I2C interface. This is an alternative to routing MIDI from one of those controllers to CV. This allows you to play CV controlled voices more directly with one of those four controllers.
The EaganMatrix Module ( EMM ), in addition to those 16 CV outputs via the CVC, also has 8 CV inputs, two groups of four. The first four ( W, X, Y, Z ) are for controlling that one CV created voice. The second four ( i, ii, iii, iv ) affect all voices, both the CV created one and those created via MIDI.
You can also input to the EMM via MPE and MPE+ MIDI.
A Eurorack version of the CVC would really be great if that is possible !
ADDED: The Evaton uCVC is Eurorack and is the same as 1/4 of a CVC. You can daisy chain two uCVCs together.
Really agree with this, but it depends enormously on how you are viewing things.
First, if you are someone who works in MIDI primarily, especially if it is MPE MIDI, why do you even care if the first four CV inputs have only one voice ? Just keep using MIDI !
Secondly, i think that the strength of the EMM really is as an alternative way to control the EaganMatrix sound engine. Someone comfortable in finding other ways for controlling things is either:
(A) Not bothered by using CV and MIDI to control the EMM.
-OR-
(B) Is prepared and interested in creating their own interface to control this unique synth.
blipson: You have or are about to receive your new Embodme Erae Touch which outputs MPE. Isn’t that ready made to hook up to the EMM ? Seems a perfect combination to me for exploring alternative interfaces.
ASIDE: In the Gaz interview video, Edmund Eagan said that Haken was looking around at various options before committing to the EMM. I wonder if a software only version was even considered, and if that is even possible ?
ADDED: I have really been scratching my head, when considering using the EMM to output 16 CV signals – four groups of four. But Haken did specifically build this capability in to the EMM. Haken has been working on EMM specific patches, so those perhaps will include some sorts of monster CV controller patches.
